He holds a Master degree in Arts, Choreography, a joint-degree by Codarts University of Arts and Fontys University in the Netherlands.

Produced by South Africa’s own Elvis Sibeko, Dance Intersect 2025 is an initiative by internationally acclaimed choreographer Anderson Carvalho, the Netherlands-based founder of Anderson Carvalho Dance and Choreography (ACDC), and transcends borders to unite audiences and artists alike through the universal language of dance.
Cape Town is gearing up to pulse to the rhythm of a global dance dialogue as ACDC Dance Intersect 2025 takes centre stage in early October. A cross-cultural celebration of classical and contemporary ballet, this landmark event brings together international and South African dance companies for an unforgettable series of performances from 2 – 4 October at Artscape Theatre.
